How to Perfectly Cook Eggs With Mason Jar Lids

Thanks to the explosion of Pinterest and other DIY blogs, Mason jars have become the must-have household item.

You can use them as glasses or even turn them into vases and planters. The possibilities are pretty much endless, but most of these projects leave you with a lot of seemingly useless Mason jar lids. Instead of throwing them away, keep some in your kitchen drawer and pull them out the next time you have a craving for eggs.

If you have a hard time getting your eggs to stay together, or just want a better plate presentation, this trick is for you. This video will show you how to use those metal lids to create the most symmetrical, sandwich-ready eggs ever.

All you need to do is place the lid upside down inside your skillet or pan. Crack your egg directly inside the lid, then wait for it to cook. Your egg will cook evenly and in the perfect shape to slap on top of a biscuit. If you’re feeling extra hungry, cook up a couple at a time to build a larger sandwich. You’re friends will wonder how you managed to make such impressive-looking eggs with this stupidly easy trick.
